Definition of workplace deviance is described as when an employee intentionally behaves in a way that goes against what their company expects of them, and it can harm the company or its employees. It can be something small like being late or not doing their work, or something big like stealing or hurting others. It’s bad for the company and the people involved, so companies need to make sure their employees know what they’re supposed to do and what will happen if they don’t do it.

Cyber technology has created opportunities for workplace deviance for the simple fact that the person is behind a screen. This means it is way harder to find them. The person can be engaging in cyberbullying, theft, hacking, and many other malicious activities.
